Could a smartphone app replace neurologist visits for brain tumor patients?
NCT ID NCT07236840
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a mobile app called 'Iskhaa' can help brain tumor patients perform their own neurological exams at home. Six hundred participants will use the app to record videos of tasks like speaking and walking, which an AI will analyze. The goal is to see if the app's results match those from a doctor, potentially making monitoring easier and more frequent.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable way for brain tumor patients to monitor their neurological health from home, potentially catching problems earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The app may not be accurate enough to replace in-person exams, and results may not apply to all patients.
